Got Nuthin...

We've started week 15. I'm in sorta a bloggin funk. I can't seem to sit down and write anything...

The past few weeks have been a bit rough for me. I feel like I'm walking around/driving/working out in a cloud, so to speak. After a fantastic long run last Wed, my body just HURT after. Not sure why.. HR was low... everything felt great during.

I've also had some family stuff going on, that well... I'm just sorta in another sorta cloud with that...I know I'll come out of my funk, but right now, I'm sorta just going through the motions..

I'm still planning a fun/picture post from Mexico, I'm just waiting on my sister to send me some pics!

Week 14 numbers were pretty good, considering we were in Mexico thru Tuesday... Here's the chart. ~15 hours including some strength (just core) stuff..


The next few weeks are going to be tough. I have my peak run (3hrs) on Wed.... Peak bike (7:00/:30 brick) next Sat and peak swim the following week (6000yards)...

5 more weeks people!!! And it can't come SOON enough :-)

If you want some fun reading, please go check out my friend Sara's Ironman AZ race report. She had a tough year, and trained her A@@ off, literally... She rocked that race and finished in the end SMILING!

this is really the rough part for iron distance training. Its so hard to be committed to the plan and balance all the life issues.

Tons of stress right now. I hope get to the eye of storm soon

It's been a while! I started this blog/journal to document training adventures for my first Ironman in 2007. It was a fun adventure and *back then* blogging was the social media of today. It connected me with so many special people that I met and continue to keep in contact with (albeit, not enough). Life got busy, training was more of a lifestyle then a new adventure and sharing my daily with the world became just, well irrelevant. While so much has changed since my last post, there is still a lot of the same. My love for swimming, biking and running, dogs and wine is still there, but my desire to keep pushing and find new boundaries has definitely faded. Over 20 years in this endurance world I've found more in myself then I ever dreamed possible. I've met the most amazing people and traveled to beautiful places.  In 2021 after several years of pandemic chaos, I brought myself back to top end fitness and lined up for my 14th Ironman and 8th IMCDA. I had a solid day, 6th in...

Happy Birthday to me.....

NO I'm not 30 QUITE yet..... BUT, I already got my first birthday present....:-) You all know I love me some RED. Kinda like SHE loves her some Pink. Except, I don't have to wear it every day. My bike isn't red (although it would be so cool if it were). I do however have: a red wall kitchen red (black & white) dishes a new red phone sassy red shoes a red wallet but... the one thing I've been waiting for.... a NEW RED HANDBAG ! I've been checking this site obsessively for a new season of RED to come out. And wouldn't you know.. the new season is here, and it was FULL OF RED. And, not the flashy fire red , but the pretty dark deep red that I love.... And then.. wouldn't you know it... a couple days after said find, I get a preferred customer coupon in the mail for 25% off.... If only the timing weren't so bad. If only I still wasn't making up for my IM expenses. If only it were MY birthday this month not his . After about a week of obsessi...

All about the SHOES

Well, I'm pretty sure that title grabbed a few of my fellow shoe whores :-) Unfortunately, this isn't a post about some really cool new shoes , or boots I purchased, or received... or even HAVE for that matter. Boo hoo. I would love me some new shoes though. Something about fall and cute new pumps that go perfect with Jeans. You know, for all those time I shower, and actually blow dry my hair.... and try to remember how to put make on and all. Whatever, you get the point. No cute new shoes. Blah. Bet Shane read the title and thought I ordered myself something online... again :-) Anyway, this post is about RUNNING shoes. Boring, I know.. but, probably one of the single most important things to being a successful, injury free runner (you know, cause I'm all of that and all - ha!).... I've been thru it all. Several running assessments, orthotics, Adidas, Nike, Saucony, Brooks... you name it, I've probably tried it (remember, shoes we are talking about here people). In...
